Chapter 96
In the wake of their sudden departure, Sharon and Gabriella were left in a state of shock. Their faces were a mirror of their gratitude towards Chloe and the driver, who had saved them from the unexpected assault.
"Tha... thank you!" Sharon finally managed to stutter out, her voice shaky but sincere as she expressed her gratitude towards Chloe.
"Don't thank me, thank Ethan instead!" Chloe replied, her face devoid of any emotion.
The mere mention of Ethan's name caused a visible shift in Sharon and Gabriella's expressions. Sharon's face was a mask of shock, her mind struggling to process the information, while Gabriella's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Do you know Ethan? What's your relationship with him? Do you know where he is right now?" Gabriella bombarded Chloe with questions,her voice tinged with anticipation.
"Why are you looking for him?" Chloe countered, her expression turning wary.
"We... It's my daughter. She is Ethan's wife. They had a disagreement before, so she wants to explain things to Ethan in person. Can you take us to find Ethan, please?" Gabriella quickly explained, gesturing towards Sharon.
"Mom, don't beg her!" Sharon's face twisted in anger. If there was someone she despised the most at this moment, it was undoubtedly Ethan.She was convinced that her current predicament was a direct result of his heartless actions. Gabriella hushed her voice and retorted angrily, "You're being foolish! We ended up in this situation because of Ethan. Don't you want to take matters into your own hands? This company might be Ethan's, not to mention that woman mentioned getting those three things back. Those are our things, don't you want them?" "Are you stupid? You and Ethan are married. It's just a fight, not something that can't be resolved! Besides, we don't even have a place to stay now. Are you going to let me sleep on the streets with you?" Gabriella chastised Sharon, her voice heavry with frustration. Chloe, upon hearing this, fel a pang of sympathy."Alright, both of you, come with me." She offered, then turned and climbed into the passenger seat,leaving the back seat for the mother and daughter.
"Hurry up and get in!" Gabriella, elated, quickly pulled a reluctant Sharon into the car.
Chloe directed the driver to head straight to her company. Throughout the journey, Gabriella attempted to butter up Chloe with flattery,but Chloe paid her no mind. Finally, irked, she asked, "Earlier, Sharon mentioned that you pawned something at the casino that Ethan gave her. Is that true?11
"...Yes! I had no other choice!" Gabriella admitted, her voice laced with embarrassment.
"As for the item, I can help you retrieve it, but you have to tell me everything honestly," Chloe stated calmly, her gaze fixed on Gabriella.
"Don't you have a place to stay? Here are a few thousand dollars for you to find a place to live. When we arrive at my company, Sharon will familiarize herself with everything and work there.When Ethan comes back, I will let him personally resolve this matter!" Chloe casually pulled out a wad of cash from her bag and handed it to Gabriella.
It wasn't that she was overly generous, but she felt that Ethan needed to confront this issue himself. She didn't want him to harbor any future regrets or grudges.
Gabriella was ecstatic at this proposition and showered Chloe with thanks.
Soon, they arrived at Chloe's company. After exiting the car, Sharon pulled Gabriella aside and scolded her for trying to ingratiate herself with Chloe and agreeing to work at the company. Hearing this, a spark of determination ignited in Sharon's eyes. Gabriella's words made her realize that this could be her opportunity to exact revenge on Ethan!
She wasn't seeking his forgiveness, that was certain!
She was merely finding a way to retaliate!
She wanted to strip Ethan of everything and leave him with nothing!
